Death From a Mad Cats Bite.

James P Cody, an Irish. American. aged
twenty-three years, whose home is at
Peoria, H., died at the Missouri Railway
Hospital in Sedalla, Mo-, Monday night, Of
hydrophobia, after having suffered the
most intense agony for several hours. Cody
was employed at the Missouri Pacific shops
at Council Grove, Kansas. On July 3, last,
Cody, in company with friend, went into
a grocery store for glass of cider. While
they were standing in the backyard q cat
ran out, and in attempting to pass through
back gate, which had been left open, ran
against the gate post and fell Cody, think
ing the cat had hurt itself, ran and picked
it up. The cat at once seized him on the
inside of the left hand, near the ball of the
thumb, sinking its teeth in go deep that it
had to be choked loose. Cody did not think
much of the matter and did not stop work.
The wound swelled o little, and then heal
ed up. On last Friday he felt lndsposed,
and got up late, bat could not eat. He called
on the company's local surgeon at Council
Grove for treatment. but the symptoms
were not sufficiently pronounced then for
the doctor to suspect what the real trouble
was. AS time progressed Cody grew worse,
and on Saturday last he found that it was
with great difficulty that he could swallow
water, and placing his hand in water seem
ed to give him sort of electric chill. The
doctor at Council Grove finally diagnosed
hydrophobia. Messages were at once sent
to the hospital at Sedalia, and the man was
started to the hospital on Sunday, accompa-
MED by two friends, arriving there Sunday
night at twelve o'clock. They were met by
the ambulance, and the sufferer was at once
taken to the hospital. After being assigned
bed, remedies for quieting him and secur-
ing rest were administered. He rested rea-
sonably well, sleeping about two hours dur
ing the remainder Of the night Next
morning, on examination, the doctors found
his pulse and respiration normal and his
temperature about two degrees above nor.
NAL. He was somewhat restless, complain.
ing that when the air blew on him it made
him have chilly sensations, and caused him
| to lose his breath, a glass of water was

AN OPEN AUTUMN.
An Old Timer Brings Back a
Recollection of 81.

Referring to the brief item published
in THE HERALD yesterday morning, one
of the oldest inhabitants stopped q
HERALD man on the street yesterday
afternoon to say that the fall CT 1854
was similar in every respect to the
present one. OF course, he remarked,
there wasn't SO much Dust then, as now
because there was not one 1.-THE the
traffic in those days. But the weather
was exactly like the present, not drop
of moisture falling until Christmas
night OF the year mentioned, when snow
began to fall and before the storm
ceased a deep deposit covered "this
valley" He remembered the time we'll.
and said that those who recollected the
dedication of the old Seventies Hall
would know the circumstance. It was
when the late SJedediah NJ. Grant was
mayor of the city, he added: and, as
an additional reminder to those here
then, he said that Col. Steptoe was in
the city that winter and quartered on
Main Street, where the old Salt Lake
House stood-where Barratt Bros.
furniture store now is.

John Melvin, the Latest Subject OF
49, Executive CIemency.

His Excelency, yesterday, pardoned
John Melvin, of Ogden, upon the re-
presentations made in the following
petition and endorse ment;
The petition for the pardon Of John
Melvin, convicted of assault and
battery, in May, 1887, in the First Dis
trict Court at Ogden, and sentenced to
six months imprisonment and to pay q
fine of 500, and to be committed for the
six months and until the fine should be
paid. John Melvin has served out the
six months, and is unable to paw the
fine. He was imprisoned before trial
for want OF bail about four months. He
has behaved well while in jail. The
County Court here would remit hi,
fine il it could. The assault was
upon his wife while the said Melvin was
intoxicated. His wife has loog since
forgiven him. We pray your excel
lency, for these reasons, to grant said
padon. He is now confined In the Jail
OF Weber County, at Ogden, Utah. and
has been acting as a trusty there for
some time.
The petition is signed by Mrs. C.

ASSUMING POSSESSION.
Receiver Dyer Makes His Round
of the Church Property.

Marshal Dyer, or. Receiver Dyer,
rather, and his legal adviser, Mr.. P. l..
Williams, made the rounds of the
property of "the late corporation"
yesterday, and Investigated as to what
he was to receive, or was entitled to re-
ceive. The general run of affairs was
in progress at the Tithing Office and
yards, there being nothing to indicate
the presence of anything unusual, save
the occasional appearance and disap-
pearance Of Deputy McCurdy. 1t was
understood that the receiver and his
legal attachment would make or had
made a proposition to the Church
people to rent the latter the Tithing
office and grounds and the Historians
office, for monthly rental of $500, ard
that the one lease for the two properties
should suffice.
From the rithing Office the party, &C
companied by Mr.. LeGrand Young and
Mr.. Rossiter, repaired to the church
Office, where the order of the court
was read to the clerks and attaches
present, ar d a demand was made for
the records, books, papers, ETC., every
thing there supposed to be prior to
March I'd, of the present year-every-
thing, to the full extent of the order.
Mr.. LeGrand Young, of the counsel
for the Church parties. did not exactly
see that the order of the court gave
what the gentlemen asked for, and in
| timated that he would prefer to consult
with some of the trustees and his fell
H-attorneys before giving the re-
ceiver and his 4 attorney a positive
hI1f cold hof ho oil
the dispatch possible, and would prob
ably be able to tell to-day or to- NOR
row, what there was and what there
was not for the receiver to take. Mr..
Jack, the individual who had the man
ipulatiRg of all the books, papers, docu-
| ments, etc., in connection with the
| Church affairs, and their transfer, was
absent from the city, Mr.. Young stated,
| and it would be some VIVA. difficult on
that account to determine, at once,
what there actually was on the prem
Uses which could be turned over.
| Err. Williams seemed a little anxit US
to press the matter with the church at
torney to reply of yes or no; put on
| Mr.. Young's explaining, as before
noted, MIR. Dyer and his adviser were
satisfied.
The trio next visited the Gardo

ANOTHER CoRRoBoRATroH.
TO the Editor Of THE HERALD.

To the Editor Of THE HERALD.
In this mornings issue OF your
valuable paper l read the follow
ing, viz; lone of the old pioneers was
yesterday heard to state that during his
thirty tive years experience in this val
ley no such fall as that of 1887 had ever
been seen here" The person that made
the above statement has certainly for
gotten the fall of 1854. That fall as as
dry and continued as open and warm as
it is to-day up to New Years day, when
storm set in and lasted nearly
week, when the weather became warm
again. and blowing and outdoor work
continued the balance of the winter.
The result of so little snow falling that
winter was that the following summer
the grasshoppers ate nine tenths of all
the grain soTn, and there was not
water enough in the streams to irrigate
and fully mature the one-tenth the
grasshoppers had left. OLD-TIMER.

SUICIDE BY HANGING.
James Herrick Strangles Himself
to Death.

Last evening about O'Clock, hor-
ribie rumor was started in the Ninth
Ward, to the effect that man had
hung himself there. and inquiries by
telephone were numerous as to the par
ticulars. A HERALD man who resides
in the immediate neighborhood of the
scene of the suicide, had just left
home for the Office and had not then
heard of the sad affair.
Later investigation resulted III OBJ
tanning the following particulars: AT
about the hour named above, Bishop
Counselor John Brown went out 10 his
stable for something, and on entering
he building, it being then dusk, he
bumped up against the body of the de-

by a rope thrown over one of the be ans

probably 60 years of age, and leaves
